Start with Jayber Crow. Then read Hannah Coulter. Then the whole Port Williams collective will open before you like a beatific field.

Philosophy and CS double major here, love reading old books. Read a lot of theology and ancient literature. Homeschooling my kids, part of the curriculum is learning Latin.

I love the idea of using a shared event log for coordination. Smart! I have a Symphony-style[1] factory, which keeps all the context in a single session, but I want to start splitting into stations with separate sessions, and I hadn’t worke

Really cool to see JSON Canvas getting attention. (Hi, kepano!) It was one of the inspirations for OCIF (Open Canvas Interchange Format), which we've been working on since JSON Canvas came out. JSON Canvas nails the simplicity-it'

strong agree. I always have the LLM put an actual markdown doc in a docs/plans/ folder before starting work. I often, but not always review it. Aside: it also helps for code review! Review bots can point out the diff between plan

Not a small amount :) I spend $140/mo on Anthropic + OpenAI subs and I use all my tokens all the time. I've started spending about $100/week on API credits, but I'd like to increase that.

I got my own level 8 factory working in the last few days and it’s been exhilarating. Mine is based on OpenAI’s Symphony[1], ported to TypeScript. Would be happy to swap war stories. <myhnusername>@gmail.com

I wonder if this is just a byproduct of factories being very early and very inefficient. Yegge and Huntley both acknowledge that their experiments in autonomous factories are extremely expensive and wasteful! I would expect cost to come dow

They have a Products page where they list a database and an identity system in addition to attractors: https://factory.strongdm.ai/products For those of us working on building factories, this is pretty obvious because once

I’ve been building using a similar approach[1] and my intuition is that humans will be needed at some points in the factory line for specific tasks that require expertise/taste/quality. Have you found that the be the case? Where d

Wow. This is exactly my kitchen faucet. Which makes sense, because my house was built in 1961. Works great. Amazing how durable the faucet is!

This! It’s both-and. Literacy has been undeniably good, but we rarely consider the consequences of widespread literacy. There’s a way of knowing something that can be recalled orally from memory that is different and valuable. But we even m

Same. Was very excited about MCP but Claude code + CLI tools is so much nicer.

Has anyone put together a comparison table for Desktop apps? I’ve started using conductor.build and it feels nice, but would happily evaluate others.

Relay user here! It’s great. Quite reliable for an early product.

One of the authors of the Landscape here. Glad you found it helpful!

Could be the prompt and/or tool descriptions in whatever tool you are using Claude in that degraded. Have definitely noticed variance across Cursor, Claude Code, etc even with the exact same models. Prompts + tools matter.

curious: did you literally use the Local-first Landscape[1] to do the evaluation? (full disclosure: co-author of landscape) [1] https://localfirst.fm/landscape

Just saw the talk on it at Local-first Conf. So many snyc engines these days. LiveStore is exploring an interesting space in the idea maze: marrying event sourcing with sync engines. I couldn't believe how robust LiveStore is already.

This seems like a good flow! I end up adding a "spec" and "todo" file for each feature[1]. This allows me to flesh out some of the architectural/technical decisions in advance and keep the LLM on the rails when the
